Vaccine Hesitancy Among Canadian Mothers: Differences in Attitudes Towards a Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine Among Women Who Experience Intimate Partner Violence.

Objectives: Vaccine hesitancy (VH) in maternal decision-making is important to understand to achieve community immunity targets and optimize pediatric COVID-19 vaccine adoption. COVID-19 is exacerbating the risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) for women in abusive relationships, a known risk factor for maternal VH. This project aimed to: (1) determine if IPV impacts maternal VH in Canada; and (2) understand maternal attitudes towards routine childhood vaccines and a pediatric COVID-19 vaccine in Canada.

"Let me know when I'm needed": Exploring the gendered nature of digital technology use for health information seeking during the transition to parenting.

This paper presents results of a qualitative descriptive study conducted to understand parents' experiences with digital technologies during their transition to parenting (i.e. the period from pre-conception through postpartum).

A guide to anticipatory guidance for breastfeeding-related pain: A concept analysis.

Aim: This article provides a concept analysis of anticipatory guidance regarding breastfeeding-related pain and establishes a definition to inform the concept's practical use.

Background: Breastfeeding-related pain is a barrier to achieving optimal breastfeeding outcomes, which can impede maternal and infant health. Education through anticipatory guidance that addresses breastfeeding-related pain can improve breastfeeding outcomes, but no formal definition is currently available for practitioner use.

Investigation of Digital Technology Use in the Transition to Parenting: Qualitative Study.

Background: The transition to parenting-that is, the journey from preconception through pregnancy and postpartum periods-is one of the most emotionally charged and information-intense times for individuals and families. While there is a developing body of literature on the use and impact of digital technology on the information behaviors of children, adolescents, and young adults, personal use of digital technology during the transition to parenting and in support of infants to 2 years of age is relatively understudied.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to enhance our understanding of the ways digital technologies contribute to the experience of the transition to parenting, particularly the role these technologies play in organizing and structuring emerging pregnancy and early parenting practices.
